We present the discovery of a transiting hot Jupiter orbiting HIP 67522 (T_(eff)∼5650 K; M_* ∼1.2 M_⊙) in the 10-20 Myr old Sco-Cen OB association. We identified the transits in the TESS data using our custom notch-filter planet search pipeline, and characterize the system with additional photometry from Spitzer, spectroscopy from SOAR/Goodman, SALT/HRS, LCOGT/NRES, and SMARTS/CHIRON, and speckle imaging from SOAR/HRCam. We model the photometry as a periodic Gaussian process with transits to account for stellar variability, and find an orbital period of 6.9596^(+0.000016)_(-0.000015) days and radius of 10.02^(+0.54)_(-0.53) R_⊕. We also identify a single transit of an additional candidate planet with radius 8.01^(+0.75)_(-0.71) R_⊕ that has an orbital period of ≳23 days. The validated planet HIP 67522 b is currently the youngest transiting hot Jupiter discovered and is an ideal candidate for transmission spectroscopy and radial velocity follow-up studies, while also demonstrating that some young giant planets either form in situ at small orbital radii, or else migrate promptly from formation sites farther out in the disk.
